UNIT TESTING TOOLS

Unit testing tools can streamline application security.

Unit testing is an approach to application security that uses unit testing tools to determine whether small individual microservices and units of source code are free of flaws and fit for use. By scanning smaller bits of code earlier in the process, unit testing tools enable developers to find flaws faster, fix them more easily and deliver more secure applications with less cost.

The challenge of unit testing tools is the amount of time they can take to administer. Some developers find that writing unit tests can take as long as actually writing the code to be tested. For software development teams facing aggressive build timelines, the added delays that unit testing tools introduce are simply acceptable.

That’s where Veracode can help. By providing automated unit testing tools that enable developers to test code quickly, easily and continually, Veracode helps software teams build more secure applications from the very start of development.
